Official Snowfall Season 3 Thread

[Nino Soprano]

We didn't need that storyline because

.

I get that but i would much rather be entertained by Manboy and Stacy than the dream shyt...like i said earlier in the thread, i wasn’t a fan of that shyt in Sopranos...i understood what it meant for the episode but it just ran too long imo...we only got 15
Mins of present time in a finale...now don’t get me wrong i liked the episode but i would’ve liked it better if it was split in half....first 20-30 mins dream shyt/ then the rest gang shyt and Saint gettin back to it

But it’s cool either way, i can’t wait for next season

I don't think any of this was really a dream sequence after all. This episode was of events prior to Season 1 leading up to present day Franklin Saint. Basically, how the hell we all got here...until when he woke up out of that ice bath.

Getting kicked out of college
Learning to control his temper in order to see the bigger picture
Catching up with Leon, who just got out of jail
Him trying to work the convenience store gig
Them selling weed for Jerome
Maybe Jerome and Louie had a miscarriage or stillborn. Sissy went there with them when they had that meeting. Low blow. Something happened.
We heard Wanda, but never saw a child

I'm guessing weeks have passed since Saint got shot, since the wounds are healed and he's in therapy (ice baths)...in 1984.

Mel is probably a basehead, doing basehead ish still. Wasn't no rehab or cleaning up stone cold in 1984. I'm sure the cop friend got her out of there.
Manboy and Stacy at war, but neither of them got a coke connect like that... so that won't last unless... Saint gets them back in business.
Leon, Jerome, and the fam just laid low waiting to see what Saint would do.
Stacy nor Manboy seem to have a problem with Jerome, so....
Red vs Blue...this was inevitable
Reid gonna team with Franklin and flood the hood with crack.
Oso got the tunnel to Tijuana, so...new distribution route....in 1984.
Someone gonna drop a dime to a reporter about CIA's involvement in this, possibly Reid's wife

Nina Simone always have me feeling a way. So much tension and feeling in her music. Soul music for real.

I liked this episode a lot. The reset is about to be crazy.

In the Snowfall universe, they insinuate that Manboy (Crip) and Stacy (Blood) about to go wild. Now with drug funds all in the streets and with both gangs, the violence will really ratchet up as they both now have war funds. The show hadn't touched the gang stuff until now and now you see who's who. They built up those characters all season. They didn't need to spend 40 minutes on it. That one sequence of scenes told the story.

This episode sets up the reset to come. Mid-to-late 1980s in LA were nothing nice. Red vs Blue. Reid going hard with the Contra thing until he gets busted. Oso building tunnels into Mexico. First Saint flooded the streets with crack, next comes the guns. Even the very late (like 40 mins in) Snowfall sign with the entire neighborhood on fire and cop lights everywhere just shows what's happened and what's to come.

Next season can't come soon enough.

Fukk what y’all talking they would’ve been better off just adapting the book

Franklin is officially a CIA operative

They gave us two,"finale caliber" episodes back to back so I'm not mad at all. I understand people like excitement and greater cliff hangers for a finale,but I dont think we got that last season and we all know how good season 3 turned out. Folks would have been satisfied if last week was the finale,or the week before that even. What I like about this is that we can get straight to business next season and not have to cover what happened with Franklin,or worry about trying to introduce the gangs and the history of gangs. They summed it up perfectly,drugs and the power struggle led to the uptick in violence,simple.

I will say the fact they sort of used a cheat to advance the story faster,tells me it won't be as many seasons as I hoped for. Somebody said they thought it would only be 4 or 5 seasons. Thus far the series has let everything build slowly,the jump ahead tells me they will be looking to end it sooner than I thought. Expect the next two seasons to be very climactic just like this one was

If it wasn't a dream that would mean Franklin was a CIA agent this whole time which is unlikely. Why would he be pretending to not know who Reid was,and making files on him this whole time.

 

[Broad Street Bully]

Y'all nikkas ain't never satisfied smh

Episode was about the realities of Franklins decisions and how he's the catalyst for how all these people life ended up. For some his decision to sell drugs literally saved them. For others it doomed them. The duality and weight of our choices.

Nah you know what? You deadass right. Imma rewatch when I get in the crib.

 

[TrillaThanMost]

Bruh wtf did I just watch...I feel like I’m Wanda and I went to scored some rock got home to fire it up and the nikka sold me soap

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

I liked how the dream sequence played on certain fears too. Having something you worked hard for taken, the booty bandit, Andre, personally I think the coma was done nicely.

More like months


He got shot in the summer
It’s Christmas time now

[Ol’Otis]

Might have to do a separate thread

Even tho they’re an integral part gangs were mainly used for muscle

 

[Marlo Barksdale]

This episode was cool but last week's ep felt like the season finale (and should have been it) and this ep felt more like a season opener. You can tell they thought the show prolly wouldn't get renewed.

They finally showed the gangs!

There go the gangs y’all wanted

I can tell by the way this season ended that John died before these last episodes were filmed and the tweet by Damson Idris confirmed it.

One of my peeves was no gangs but I said maybe they just doin like Boyz N Da Hood and being subtle with em. They should've been in season 2 if u gon do em or the start of this season when Leon got the automatic weapons. Now it feels kinda thrown together because Stacy & Manboy's crews wouldn't be doing busines as seperate gangs. We should've been seeing rags all season.
.

If you pay attention the episode you see that Franklin essentially trades his fathers life for Mel's with his decision.

How so

I don't have an answer for that one. Saint definitely wasn't a CIA agent. I'll go back to check how he initially met Reid and their reactions. I know Avi was the common factor on both sides. Saint wanting to step up. Reid trying to maintain his cover.

A lot of that "dream sequence" appeared to be real events. I'll eventually go back and rewatch the 1st season again, now knowing what we know.
